[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m at the point now that I’m trying to envision our lives in the coming years. What will it be like? What will our daily existence feel like under a dictatorship? Or authoritarian government or wherever we’re headed? What will it be like for our kids who are in middle school right now? What will their futures look like? FWIW we are white. My younger brother (34) is gay. My mom relies on a pension. We have various friends who are Jewish, black, deaf, autistic, LGBTQ. I’m really sad and scared about where we’re clearly headed. Will we be able to find happiness and livelihood? Travel? Express ourselves? [/quote]

I see a lot of people fear mongering about this. Please list how you have been directly impacted by any of the so call dictatorship or authoritarian gov up to this point?[/quote]

DP but we're a well-educated, 3rd generation DC born and raised family, and we've been affected. DW is a Fed, so her agency has been hectic to say the least since January. I run a small business with government contracts, and properly appropriated and contracted funds are just frozen even after out team did the work and paid for expenses (cost-reimbursement contract). My brother has a visible, political job in DC, and he's received death threats but no longer gets security. I think because of my brother, I was doxxed and my small business has been harassed by MAGA and we had to close the doors to the public (but still operational).

We like to think we're a pretty well-insulated, run of the mill family, and yet here we are.[/quote]

So you’ve been renting off the American public and it’s all coming crashing down. Funny how that works [/quote]

No, they've been SERVING the American public.  Do you want a reliable postal service?  Medicare? Social Security?  All of this is brought to you by the service of your fellow Americans.  You should be grateful.  I am.[/quote]

They’ve been completely brainwashed into thinking that they don’t deserve a return on their tax money.[/quote]
